Now that you have chosen your topics, products, and have compiled your keyword lists, you’re ready to create and submit your articles into the online directories.
In truth, choosing your initial markets and products to promote is a large chunk of the work involved, and now all you need to do is write (or outsource) a handful of articles focusing on these specific topics.
Specific being VERY important.
First of all, you need to ensure that your article directly connects to the product or topic that you are promoting.
Do not write a great article about parenting and then provide a link to a product selling weight loss tips. You NEED to closely tie your article with a specific topic, product or focus.
When writing your articles, keep them slimmed down to only 300-400 words in length. We want to keep them short and on track, remembering our objective is to entice them to read the entire article and then click on the links featured within our author’s resource box leading either to a landing page, squeeze page or direct to the merchant’s website after being tagged with our affiliate link.
If you struggle to come up with topic ideas for your articles, one easy strategy is to use the 'number technique' which incorporates a bullet list into your document.
Example: ' Ten Tips To Saving Money At The Pump', or 'Top Five Methods Of Minimizing Acne'.
There are three parts to every article. Let’s take a look at what these are, and how you can make sure yours are written in the best possible way.
Article Title
The first thing your reader will see is your article title, so it’s an exceptionally important part of your article and serves as a headline does on a salespage.
Your title needs to captivate them, get their attention and prompt them to read further. You want your article title to be irresistible so they can’t help but click on the link and read the entire page.
Article Description
When article directories submit your content into their database, typically your title shows and possibly your description, or the first paragraph within your article content.
This is one of a few reasons why that first paragraph is so important. It not only works to describe what your article is about, but just like the title or header, it also needs to work to motivate your reader to continue reading.
Article Body Content
The remainder of your article should carry the reader right to the end. Don’t think that if your title and initial paragraph is good that they will simply continue reading, you still need to bring them along with you by weaving your article content so that it directly addresses the topic of your article.
Keep it interesting and on topic. Use short paragraphs rather than lengthy ones and limit your article body content to 400 characters in total.
With your article, you need to:
Use a clear and direct title that captures attention instantly.
Follow it up with the first paragraph clearly describing the topic of your article.
Continue with the body weaving a story, and doing its job by keeping the visitor reading through to the end.
The closing paragraph or statement satisfying the reader with an ending to the story if you choose that style and prompting them to read the resource box below.
The resource box then compels the reader to click on a link by offering free information in the form of a free report, ebook, video, tutorial, ecourse or something else, relevant to the topic of your article.
To solve the problem of how to write an article that doesn’t give away too much or not enough, there is a very simple system that works every single time.
It looks like this:
Topic Introduction Examples Of Subject Matter Solution / More Information On Subject Matter
With the topic introduction you are clearly explaining exactly what the article is about. If you were writing about how to quit smoking, you would explain the benefits of quitting, the available aids and so on.
Then, you would provide examples that directly relate to your topic, for example with smoking, you could provide examples of some of the remedies or aids that don’t work.
And finally, you would provide information on a possible solution, and show them exactly how to get started.
You also want to try to stay within a 400 word guideline. Articles that are too lengthy will only distract your reader.
The opening paragraph is one of the most important elements of every article you write, as this is the first few seconds in which you will either capture their attention or lose them forever.
